Rides becoming Jerky

In general, I find that a lot of the jerkiness is caused by the particular train/car you are riding in rather than the track.

Or what condition the wheels are in...

Huh.

^yes, he is. Each post is stored on the server. So every time he writes his name down, its getting stored. When its in his signature its only stored 1 time and then loaded from that one location every time. So if TedFuzz posts 1,000,000 times he's going to use aproximately 8mb more storage than if he just put -TedFuzz in his signature. So really he'd have to post a few billion times for it to really make an expensive difference.

I just don't understand why he would waste time typing it every time or why he likes doing it.

And who here is close to 1 million posts?

Am I the only one who just realized "lladnar" is "randall" spelled backward? See...putting your name in a post can be a good thing! :)

Has Blue Streak always been insanely rough in the back row, or is it possible that rain earlier in the day could effect smoothness? The reason I ask is that on my last trip, I rode BS in the back for the first time (I always ride front) and I found it to be very rough. It was still very fun, but it was rougher than all of my rides I have ever had on MS. I was just wondering what may have caused this...

I know I went to the point on tuesday and the rides were a bit jerky. I know that many times they act different depending on the amount of people on the ride and the weather conditions.

The Blue Streak has always been very rough in the back of the train. It's also rougher in the back of each individual car than it is in the front of each car. From my own personal experiences, I would say the front is by far the smoothest seat on the whole ride.

Blue Streak did not seem as rough this year. I rode the back like ten times without getting off, and maybe it's the new seatbelts or something, but I swear it was actually enjoyable this time. Another good seat in my opinion is 1-3, while not as good as Maggie's of course, it still provides some good air on the bunny hops and still gives a nice view if you look over the seats. I really love this ride and especially it's hidden entrance aka shorter lines. :)
